In guess I’m missing something but what has changed regarding Indigenous violence between the past few governments? I remember reading stuff like this during the Harper govt and before.THis is the sort of headline that will make people think about voting for Team Justin:
Man charged in 14-year-old girl’s slaying was on bail, accused of victimizing her in sex crime
A Manitoba man who was out on bail for allegedly having sexual contact with a teen girl is now charged with killing her. RCMP were called to the Chemawawin Cree Nation nursing station at about 1:25 a.www.winnipegfreepress.com
Out on bail for sexual interference and murders the 14 year old victim.

But have it the percentage of popular vote in the Provincial elections, not the Federal elections. That way the reps truly are representing their provincial party rather than following their Federal party leaders in the Commons.
Also, since Provincial elections are at different times than the Federal elections you'd get a constant turnover of Senators throughout the term of a Federal Government so you wouldn't be locked into a single voting scenario throughout the term of the Government.

Precisely. And why I said half every election - give some continuity outside the provincial election cycle. Reapportion every decennial census, always rounding up to the nearest multiple of two - so a province that would receive .1 of a seat gets two until the next census.

Just like Ontario NDP policy had always been "we're putting in public auto insurance" and "we won't break into negotiated contracts" - until they didn't and did (respectively) - or the federal Liberals' policy on going for a new way of electing folks - until they didn't?
Odd are Team Blue'll keep that tool in the tool belt, but never say never.

Just like Harper's secret agenda that he never implemented during his time as PM...Just like Ontario NDP policy had always been "we're putting in public auto insurance" and "we won't break into negotiated contracts" - until they didn't and did (respectively) - or the federal Liberals' policy on going for a new way of electing folks - until they didn't?
There is zero benefit to trying to legislate abortion but 100% certainty of angering both sides of the fight, as no matter what is suggested will be too restrictive, or not restrictive enough for both sides.
The abortion debate is nothing but a distraction and fearmongering by the LPC and NDP. There would have to be a cultural shift in the Canadian public for abortion to be on the table, and if that happened you can bet the LPC would be leading the charge to legislate it themselves.

Regardless of allocation method or formula, how do we get bums in seats? Elected or appointed are the two choices (short of press gangs which are likely out of favour).

In order for a matter to get to the Supreme Court there has to be an initial violation of a criminal or administrative law or a civil action. I can't envision what set of circumstances would lead to a criminal charge where a fetus' Charter Rights would be argued. Maybe there is - I just can't think of one. The same for administrative law. The closest would be human rights tribunals but I don't see the grounds existing. I suppose some one or some group could try a civil action where the government is the respondent, but I'm really not that up on civil law to speculate if that is even possible. Regardless, the journey would take deep, deep pockets and might end up with the Court declining to hear it.
People can challenge what is in the law, not what's not in the law.

has there been rulings on embryos in Canada? Ownership? Disposal?

No clue. I would think under our current system that would be considered contract law.

We already have the House for representation by population. If Senate is going to be anything, it should start by being selected by criteria other than population.

Not the same thing at all - can you link to the policy resolution for that one?

IMHO, there is no abortion issue. We have a wedge issue. Just like we don't have a firearms issue, but another wedge issue. Governments use them as a cudgel to distract the population and vilify the opposition as uncaring and out of touch barbarians. If they weren't fallback wedge issues, they would have been worked out a long time ago. But they are still here and rolled out at election time, only to be put back in the closet for four more years after every election.

I know everyone is passionate no matter what side they're backing & fighting for. Still, we can all do better, vigourously discussing actions/initiatives without personal attacks, no matter how frustrated we are at the politician in question, whatever colour jersey they happen to wear.

My idea is 39 Senators, three per province and territory all elected and no political affiliation .

It's an entirely ideological definition.
In spite of a changing reality, the excluded will always be straight white males, as the others gain more power and ramp up their hatred of them.
Proof is in the pudding: as society gets more progressive, cultural-marxist discourse gets more, not less, toxic. Politics is nothing more than a power play (the post-modernists were correct on this point), rationalism is just the sugar-coating that Western civilization once maintained in days of yore.
I'm not saying anything new, of course, the underlying truth was known and well explained thousands of years ago by the Ancient Greeks.
